The Paradise Garden – Text If you would rather listen to the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pzhlQ_cupg The noise was driving Peter crazy. All day and night and all around it roared. Only in one place was there any peace. In the west of the city was a fabulous garden. There, behind its tall walls and thick trees it was possible to escape the noise. For Peter, who had lived all his life in narrow streets, it was the closest place to paradise he had ever seen. Surrounded by trees from around the world, were quiet lawns and secret places that felt like the middle of the country, where the grass was long and squirrels buried acorns under the bushes. If you shut your eyes you could still hear the traffic but it felt far away and unimportant. The air smelt clean with a breath of trees. Hidden by thick bushes, Peter lay on the grass and floated away into the deep forest.

He’d planned his escape so no one would miss him. It was simple. He told his mother he was going on

holiday with his father. She was annoyed, but not enough to stop him, not enough to phone his father.

That night Peter slept beneath the stars. The city had dropped to a faint murmur. Foxes hunted through

the garden and owls called out in the dark. No monsters visited Peter’s dreams that night. There were no

nightmares of running through slowed down time, just peaceful empty sleep.

The first weeks were wonderful. He thought he might get fed up with the garden, that maybe its magic

would wear off, but it didn’t. He thought about his sister and his friends. He thought about is parents

fighting and his father walking out. It all seemed so far away. It was as if the garden wall were a boundary

to another world.

He bought food in the cafes and washed his clothes in a lotus pond among tall bamboos. And as he went

through the garden, he collected things: a gold ring, a red balloon and a pocketful of seeds. And when it

rained, there were other great glass houses. Beneath their crystal skies it was forever summer. At night

Peter crept into the Palm House to pick bananas and exotic fruits from around the world.

He grew to know every part of the garden, from quiet forgotten pathways where lovers walked to white

paths of bright flowers where old ladies sat and painted. He grew to know the animals to. At home he had

never been allowed a cat or dog or even a fish but here he had dozens of friends.

Eventually his money and the bananas ran out and he had to live on other people’s leftovers. But even

then he was happy. No one shouted at him. No one told him he was stupid. No one tried to make him do

things he couldn’t. And no one made him face up to the fact that he would have to go home one day.

Life was so peaceful. At night he climbed the tallest tree and looked out at the distant city sparkling like

fallen stars. He walked between tropical palms and swam with brilliant goldfish in a pool of giant

waterlilies.

In a corner of the garden, behind tall brick walls, was the only house where people lived. Peter stood in the

shadows by the window and watched the family inside. A fire burned in a grate, turning the room into

gold. Two children played cards on the floor while their parents watched television and, on the carpet, an

old dog dreamed of its youth. Peter felt a terrible sadness in his heart, a deep loneliness that he realised

had been there all his short life.

Summer grew weary. Everything slowed down and stopped growing. A fine dust covered the leaves. The

flowers turned their heads onto the ground and Peter felt lonely. The leaves turned gold and began to fall

and Peter knew it was time to go home.

In the yard behind his house Peter planted all the seeds he had collected. Nothing at home had changed.

The noise still went on day and night. His mother shouted, the neighbours shouted and the city roared. But

now he had his own paradise garden, and he knew that he would always have one wherever he went.

Tuesday

Wednesday and Thursday

Story starter!

He had only been away for a short time.

Upon returning to his home-town, Jake found that it

was no longer there: something terrible had

happened. After eventually locating his house (it had

moved several hundred miles from its previous

location) Jake stood on top of it and surveyed the

calamitous scene around him. What could have caused

such a thing to happen?

Can you continue the story? You could write a flashback, describing what happened to

the town, or write about how Jake tries to solve the mystery.
